CLEVELAND — If you can, think all the way back to May 24. Remember those zany, wacky times? Hillary Clinton hadn’t yet secured the Democratic nomination. The Knicks officially were without a head coach, as the appointment of Jeff Hornacek was days — no, nearly two weeks — away.

And the Warriors trailed the Thunder, 3-1, in the Western Conference finals.

Even if you can’t recall that time, when legend says both dinosaurs and SUVs roamed the Earth, the Warriors do. They remember rallying and beating the Thunder. So no way are they taking anything for granted with their 3-1 NBA Finals lead over the Cavaliers, even with Game 5 at home Monday.

“Just because we’re going home doesn’t mean you can relax or take things for granted,” said Stephen Curry, who looked like a two-time MVP with 38 points Friday in the Warriors’ 108-97 Game 4 victory. “You work all regular season to have home-court advantage. … We need to play with a sense of urgency and a sense of aggression.”

If history is a gauge, then the folks of Cleveland will look at the Indians as the next hope to end the city’s championship drought that dates to 1964. Never, in 32 tries, has a team rallied from a 3-1 NBA Finals deficit to win a title.

“We were in this position [down 3-1] last series. We know what it feels like,” Golden State’s Shaun Livingston said.

The Cavs collapsed in the second half Friday as Curry and Klay Thompson (25 points) returned to Splash Brothers form and the Warriors’ depth exhausted the Cavs. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving played the entire second half. J.R. Smith played all but five seconds.

“That’s always the game plan when they’re going, really, seven deep and we’re going 11, 12 deep. … If you continue to put bodies on them and continue to fight and battle eventually they’ll wear down,” said Draymond Green, embroiled in another shot-to-the-groin controversy as the league was expected to review if he struck James in the crotch with just under 3:00 left.

Curry was the dominant story. After all the criticisms, he forged a masterpiece, hitting seven of the Warriors’ Finals-record 17 3-pointers.

Green insisted he knew Curry would bust out through the “slander.” Why?

“All the stuff that’s been going on the last few days was my first clue. All the slander,” Green said. “He’s been under a heavy microscope and rightfully so. Two-time MVP, you’re expected to have great games in the Finals. He struggled the first three but … he was that guy.”

So the Warriors are reminding each other to be that guy individually again.

“I’ve already told our guys Game 5 will be the hardest game of the series,” Kerr said. “Every closeout game is difficult, but at home, for a strange reason it’s even more difficult. You’ve got everybody in your ear. We have to understand that this series is not over.”

Just like the Thunder series was not over.

“It’s about getting one on their home floor where they’ve been very successful,” James said. “Obviously, if you want to look to that side, you put too much pressure on yourself. For me as the leader of this team, we’ve just got to get one.

“We’ve already got to take a flight home back anyways, so we might as well come home with a win and play on our home floor again.”

There is a decided difference in this series and the West finals. The Warriors, when down 3-1 to Oklahoma City, had Game 5 at home. The Cavs are on the road.
